		Veracruz is largely untouched by foreign visitors, probably because its beaches are not that brilliant in comparison to the Pacific and Caribbean ones and this colonial city is perceived as being out on a limb in comparison to the other colonial cities in Mexico's interior.
		Veracruz was the place where Hernan Cortez, the Spanish Conquistador who was later to rule Mexico first landed, and it was here where he began his journey that led to the conquest of the once mighty Aztec Empire.
		Veracruz is a great place to visit if you're looking for an authentic Mexican destination (many Mexicans holiday here annually) which doesn't offer the 'standard issue' beach and resort by the coast, but does offer history, vibrancy, and provides an excellent springboard to explore and experience Mexico's eastern Gulf Coast attractions.
